  • Abstract:  We've never seen so much tech crammed into such a small form. The Flex is a 
pill-sized sensor that slips into a comfy, rubberised wrist strap. It packs in – take a deep breath – Bluetooth 4.0 to feed your phone live tracking info, NFC to start the mobile...

  • Abstract:  The Fitbit Flex is a cool-looking, lightweight wristband that tracks and monitors your daily activity and sleep patterns. It syncs with a desktop dashboard and mobile app to give you up-to-date activity data in gorgeous graphs. You can compete with Fitbit-using friends and even upgrade to a premium Daily Trainer service. I found the Fitbit Flex gave me added motivation to walk or run that bit further, and keep an eye on my weight and fitness activities. It’s addictive and fun, and if that gets you moving more and generally fitter and leaner it’s better for you than most other computing or mobile devices.....

  • The Fitbit Flex is a solid entry into the nascent fitness band category, and if you’re on Android, or already hooked into online services that integrate with Fitbit’s software, it’s an excellent choice. But it has plenty of competition: for everyone el...

  • Simple elegant design, Good price, Light and comfortable body, Water resistant, Accurate, High battery life, Discrete alarm (vibration)
  • Lack of OLED display, Doesn't monitor heartbeat, Takes time to get used to sleeping with it
  • The Flex wristband is practical and convenient but the question is – Is it comfortable while sleeping? We are concerned with its width of 11.1mm. To be precise, the discomfort comes from the slightly thicker end near the transparent window. If you are use...
